Love this Ghost dress but it's over budget

Looking for a dress to wear to a wedding.
I love this Ghost dress but it's about £100 over budget.

Has anyone seen anything similar, or can suggest what shops to look in?

I recently bought a lovely ghost dress new with tags for £25 on vinted, worth a look!

Thank you. I didn't think of Vinted.

Like the style, not the colour. I need something darker.

Ignore that - was on the wrong dress! This colour is good, but I do not have the breasts/chest

It looks quite booby in the Vinted ad.

It does, doesn't it, but less so on the JL page. I am tall.

You're all so helpful, thank you.

So, I much prefer midi. I am 5'8", slim and have very small breasts.
I prefer darker colours.
There's nothing I want to cover up (well apart from what's socially expected!).

I am not keen on the lack of any detail on the Yumi one. I love the buttons and the slight gathering on the Ghost one - really flattering I think.

The Nobody's Child one looks too much like a BM dress I think - though I love the cut and detail. The floral one would be a possibility if I could guarantee a very warm day.

Would you rent a dress?

Absolutely! I didn't think of that. I'm not very smart at shopping.

Actually I've got a dress I could wear that no one at this wedding will have seen before. Hmmm, that would be the easy option.
I need to dress my 2 sons as well ££££££££

There are some on ebay but not the emerald green. This is quite similar though

Try Nobody’s Child

Sparkleshine21 · 03/04/2023 19:15

Nobody’s child do dresses in the same cut and legnth and a lot cheaper

Alice786 · 03/04/2023 19:17
